So frustrated I could scream

[amberfocus]

I just lost 1000 words of Zeppelins.  I am so mad right now I just want to hit the wall.  I highlighted it to see how many words I'd written, (2007) and then I wandered off to do something on the web and came back and the part that was highlighted was gone.  I figured I'd accidently hit cut, so I hit paste and it wasn't there.  I tried an autorecovery.  I tried searching the temp files.  I tried *ASD.  I tried ~*.*  It's just gone.  I was able to get back the first 1000 words or so with the autosave feature but not the whole thing.  Damn it.  It was going so well.

Think I'm going to take a nap and try to approach this with a fresh mind in an hour or two.  Just so, so annoyed with myself that I left it like that without saving. *sighs*  I'm usually much better about things than that.  At least I remember what I was writing.  I just didn't sleep long enough last night, it being the first night of Chris' shift and him gone again for three weeks.  Last of the three weekers at least.  Then we're back on two and two for the fall/winter/early spring.

And there was a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

Oh, I'm SO sorry to hear that! Gah, how frustrating! :(

Here's hoping that you feel much better after your power nap. At least you remember what you'd written and were able to recover the first 1000 or so, so it's not a total loss. Here's also hoping that these 3 weeks go by quickly for you. ;)

*big hugs* ♥!

You can remember every word you wrote - The Temple has faith which cannot be shattered.
The blessings of GUH be upon you.

Ugh. I'm so sorry. I *hate* when this happens.

[ramblinsuze.livejournal.com]

Oh no! I hate it when I do that. And, naturally, it's all the computer's fault. ;)

I think Ten found the file in the Vortex... he's going to try to filter it back into your brain in a moment...

OH NO! You know, I';ve done exactly the same thing myself before. Oh it is so frustrating.

Sleepwise, you have my sympathies. I don't sleep well at all when Mr Flar3 is working away. Ironically right now, he is off work for 3 weeks annual holiday, and for the last 2 weeks I have still awake at 2am, then such as this morning wide awake at 5.30am. My body does not like 3 and half hours sleep, but it wont do anything about it. I can't sleep no matter what I do. I even took 9mg of Melatonin last night and it didn't touch me.

I had a PASCAL teacher at university (and the fact I studied PASCAL will tell you how old I am) who always said...

"To err is human, but to really screw things up you need a computer"

*hugs* *sends chocolate*

Stare at my icon a while....That should cheer you up....:D
